I object to fishing tournaments less for what they do to fish than what they do to fishermen.

No one can ever see the ball hit the bat because it's physically impossible to focus your eyes that way. However, when I hit the ball especially hard, I could smell the leather start to burn as it struck the wooden bat.

No one has come up with a substitute for hard work.

The key to hitting is just plain working at it. Work, that's the real secret.

All managers are losers, they are the most expendable pieces of furniture on the face of the Earth.

If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.

It was always fun for me, I loved baseball so darn much. By the hours I practiced, you'd have to say I was working a lot of hours, but it was pretty near tireless fun for me. I'd rather swing a bat than do anything else in the world.
